-switch off
-press vol up and power on key together (it takes pretty long time)
-You will enter green screen, but need to press the power key again
-Now you will enter the red screen.
-There on your android will appear and all the options too.
-For selecting use the volume up and down keys, but to select an entry you need to press the power on key for a little longer.
Power on and vol down key will probably lead you to download mode.

A User Review
Ajay GovindMay 24, 2012 3:15 AM
A9 is a great phone. I am using it for past one week. Bought it from local store in Mumbai for Rs. 9200. So far..No problem...everything is great.
Pros:
- Camera 5MP produces great pictures, even in the dark. You can record video with the flash on in the dark. Quality is decent.
- Front camera is good to have
- Processor 1GHz...It has reasonable speed.
- Android 2.3 (Gingerbread). Many software/apps to download from Google Play Apps. Plays Adobe flash, pdf, Office, Hindi text, Siri, Voice assistant.
- Flashlight
- Screen resolution and body quality is good.
- Tethering, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth works fine...
- Has Accelerometer.
- GPS Maps
Cons:
- Battery, though 1600mah (larger than most Smartphones in the market), is still weak to support features. It drains out within 7-8 hours..I guess that is with every phone.
- PC suite, manuals, Phone accessories (such as Scratch Gurad, Case, Cover, etc) are not available yet..
- Display goes blank when calling or receiving calls. You have to press power button to wake up the screen. (After investigating, I found, this problem exist in almost all smartphones). May need to install Screebl.
- No Gyroscope. Compass will not work..
- Sound quality is fair (could have been better & louder), but sometimes it seems Mono when loud, due to speakers at the back of handset.
- Qwerty keypad during calls & SMS does not rotate to landscape by default...Need to install Go SMS & other Go Apps to make it work.
- Available only in White colour.
- Few service centers.
Overall, its a great buy. It blows off all the phones in the market with the similar specs...specially in Price...Any other phone with this spec would cost around 14k. But this one comes for Rs. 8999 from Infibeam. Adexmart show Rs. 8590 but is out of stock there.
I would recommend everyone who wants to buy this phone. Yes..it is not branded like Nokia, Samsumg, HTC, but looks like a solid phone having acceptable quality & performance. I am sure Karbonn will try to improve their support and will give tough competition to other phones..just like Micromax already has..
Hope this helps others in their buying decisions.

I also bought this phone replacing my spice mi350, karbonn A9 its better phone in its league,much better than sammy's galaxy y duos in every aspect. battery life seems good to me,15hrs with both sim active normal use still 41% remaining...my rooted custom rom spice mi350 used to last for 2 days .A9 lacks options for managing dual sim calls, messages. even go sms pro dont detects it as dual sim, which I miss. but skype with video call is supported, besides that everything is fine. I would recommend this phone!!

This fone has spec's of the mobiles in 15k to 17k range.
Galaxy ACE or ACE+ lacks many features this mobile has.
How is the stock launcher and touch, as some say touch is not very sensitive? is it true?

Karbonn A9 Support
1) how is the touch sensitivity? is it not good? is it worse than samsung ace / galaxy Y ? if it is, please post here.
2) How is PC software support for this Phone? Can we write our own ROMs into this phone? Are ROM images available online/from service store for free??
I am planning to buy this mobile. people who bought this mobile, please comment.
your comment will be a great value for us.
Thanks.

touch sensitivity is decent & acceptable, one of my friend got galaxy y duos. I found A9 display, reso. and touch superior to Y duos. I think stock Rom is not well cooked, a bit unstable at times. another of my friend who bought this phone yesterday after looking mine has random reboots 2-3 times since purchase(this may be due to some app). overall build quality is very decent. I may arrange stock rom if you can mod that. as this phone has potential if paired with good rom. this is phone from Chinese manufacturer called K-Touch & model may be W680. we dont get anything like pc suite, drivers etc with it.
I would suggest if you like it go for it!!!

Excellent info on this.
Thats what we wanted the original name of the mobile.
As for the reboot issue, I had the same in my A8
This is how I solved it--
The screen time out that we set in the mobile to put the mobile on standby after a certain period. Make it to manual or 30 mins (most preferred you put your mob on standby yourself) this will solve the reboot issue.
Settings>display>Timeout> 30 Mins or MAX what is there.
It worked for me, but you can try and revert.
Its a cooked ROM so chances are it will work.

Don't you friends think that it is the perfect time to write a review of the latest Xperia S ICS Firmware 6.1.A.2.45 ?
What all improvements or bugs that you came across when compared to previous GB / ICS Firmwares.

Well I updated mine successfully in the UK. my first impressions are as follows. First installed without wiping data and the screen awake bug was there. phone would not sleep. always kept awake with screen turned off. reinstalled software with wiping data and although the issue is still there, its not as bad. Battery life has definitely improved. Handset and user experience is a lot smoother. Quite impressed actually. There is a wifi bug. Connection is fine but signal strength is not there so wifi will disconnect every few minutes. was fine before update. Quick launch button is okay. its a hit and miss affair. works 2 out of 3 times. Widgets load a lot faster. No new apps apart from Wisepilot is now called Wisepilot for Xperia. No other noticeable improvements. Will give it a few days to see if there are any more bugs or if anything else has improved. Really annoyed as I don't understand what is keeping the phone awake. I've done everything to sort this out but clearly its a bug that Sony has not been successful in resolving. This eats up irrelevant battery. Although its not as bad as it was on the previous fw I was on. Any help would be greatly appreciated in rectifying this problem. One more thing, camera focus has improved vastly as has face recognition and auto scene recognition. Focusing is a lot quicker and better

Is your ph UK generic? Did u flash it or update via pcc?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Flashed the .45 cz rom yesterday with complete wipe & factory reset. Everything works smoother/faster on this new firmware wrt previous ICS versions. But my biggest concern i.e quicklaunch bug is still there (although it seems improved than before). Bravia engine still doesn't work for me on any ICS rom. Still checking the battery backup on this one. I wonder why many still face these two issues on ICS (and not on any GB roms) .

you mean Home launcher supports landscape mode?
Anybody got root access to the latest firmware yet?
home launcher was also able to be used in landscape mode since GB. Usually this is only possible when connected to HDMI. But I also recognized that it also works without HDMI connected sometimes. Might be a bug that sometimes it is also possible to use it in landscape without hdmi connected.
At the moment i recognize a shorter battery life yesterday. Today it already seems to get better.

Hi there people!
I know about the root + txt file method with 4.1.x, but I've been wondering if the 4.2.2 update changed anything.
Anything as in some option that allows a voice recorder to work.
Even client side record would be great (two-way would be heaven).
Anyone been experimenting with this?
If it's absolutely non-doable... could you link me a ROM that is 100000000000000% stable/works and got voice recording?
I'm willing to root the phone as the warranty is over anyway. But the user is my father, and he is an 'old guy'. The rom should be 100% working/stable/etc, if I don't want him to have a heart attack because some 1337 h4xx0r thought messing up core apps is a good idea.
(^ The above is just an example, I respect the work of the fellow XDA hackers.)

Most of roms with good support will works just fine without any restart for weeks, but after some time (or after instaling some apps) something can go wrong.
I've got ProBAM v4.4.1 and call recording is working but it's not a good choice for "old guy"
Try sense 4+ roms like Viper or ARHD - they were good looking, easy to use, rock stable and call recording (2way but without bt) was working fine.

But regular bluetooth works right?
Thanks for the link, will check soon.
(Also, f.ck HTC. I mean, what the hell. Premium priced phones with subpar experience. My girlfriend's Note works like a CHARM with voice recording. It's the damn stock rom without anytihng, and it works both ways, clearly. I hate HTC. Never again.)
(I'll also have to make sure his data won't be lost. I had to return his phone. Backed contacts up with 2-3 apps. All failed and he lost 20+ people. :/)
Update:
@ Recording: Ah I saw that TXT weeks/months ago. But people been saying that the notification and other sounds were sped up and there been other problems with this workaround. I wonder how it works/why that happens. I thought there are mods where they fixed this somehow else. ( I saw mods which included this "fix". )

Yep, all hardware works but to make 2way sound recording you have to unlock, root your phone and apply "Sound_Phone_Original_REC.txt" patch.
Only recording calls using bt headset doesnt work:/

Unlocking my phone was one of first things I've done after buying it (because of blated operator software), so it wasn't a problem for me.
I agree that everything should work with stock firmware without unnecessary things to do.

Contacts, app list, wallpapers, photos, wifi pass list and many others are backing automatically using your google account.
Utils like Titanium Backup or Helium can also backup program data and settings.

I also has this *bug with speed up ringtones and voice recording files using PA3.6 rom.
Complete shutdown and powering up phone (not standard restart) fix it.
Fortunately recordings are working fine when playing them on PC/MAC, so it can be problem only with amr files (didn't try mp3 yet)

Could you enlighten me about this bug ? (thank you very much for your replies, they help, a lot.)
I mean, how are the sounds different? How do you notice?
The backup: The problem was due to the app my father uses and the different way to store contacts.
Basically, he thought a smart phone, is a smart phone.
He had a Nokia before, and used it to contain every detail about people. Like 3-5 numbers.
When he got the HTC, he started to input contacts by using the online interface.
It sucked. It messed up everything. Like the numbers got mixed up and such.
Finally, MyPhoneExplorer let him to create his contacts.
But then... he needed a Contacts app too. (The default sucks.)
So I went on the market, and GOD BLESS the creators of Contacts+. It IS what the default should look like.
The rooting: It's a business phone so to say, he works on it/with it all day. Well, he relies on it as he relied on the Nokia.
You know, like you would rely on your dog, the best buddy. And that's why I didn't want to risk it.
Warranty is the other problem. The phone already had a yellow tint, and a few weeks ago he dropped the phone and the corner of the protective glass got cracked. It's nothing, but it voids the warranty. (There is insurance on the phone, so I'll just return it when the company goes out of stock from the One X and ask for a One. Seriously, they ask for a high insurance price monthly, and they would give you an "obsolete" phone.)
SO YOU WERE SAYING... (the post got tl;dr, sorry)
Which rom you say I should install?
I rooted phones and such, but f... I almost bricked a friend's Milestone. (Lucky it had two recovery ways to fix things.)
So... yeah. Any "non-ricer", standard, rock-solid rom.
Thank you!
I already owe you a beer.

When playing recorded call on phone it plays 2 or 3 times faster, so you cannot understand a world.
The same thing is with ringtones (played much faster than it should be).
Files are working fine(normal speed) when played on other devices.

About rely on Android phone:
For more than a year I use HOX like a normal phone (calling, sms) about less than a week, and as a normal phone it's OK - battery lasts for 4-5 days (not close to Nokia: week or two
Almost everyday I'm using mp3, gps, mail, camera and it has drastically impact for battery life.
Phone lasts for max 2 days with 2-4h onscreen time.
So, except battery life you can relay on it
SO YOU WERE SAYING... (the post got tl;dr, sorry)

Click to expand...

As I say before, try any sense4+ rom like Viper or ARHD (booth are great and you/your father should be pleased.
They're stable, easy and quick to use (lighting fast camera comparing to AOSP/CM), lot of custom options with as good or better battery life comparing to stock HTC rom.
Or wait a month and see what people will tell about sense5 roms.
I've got some issues with cpu freq lock to 1,5Ghz, 8h daining battery to shutdown wakelocks and call recorder doesn't want to work on MaximusHD 20/21 with sense5.
Thank you!

Okay, last two:
- How is that ringtone speed up? Is it annoying?
(He certainly won't reboot the phone all the time as there are times when he is receiving calles each minute for hours.)
- So I'll stick to the simple root method, and wait for Sense 5. (It looks neat. I mean, damn, it is slick.)
Which root method should I follow? The one in the recording thread post (you linked)?

It depends.
After beer or two or after a joint you don't care a lot;P
Seriously: just check by yourself.
Take any ringtone and play it with fast forward mode (most of media players has that feature) and imagine that you hear this when someone is calling.
I had this issue only once, just after applying patch. After complete shutdown and powering up it was fixed for me - phone worked about 2-3 weeks without restart or any kind of problems.

I will apply the fix on this weekend.
But damn, it already creeps the hell out of me.
- I will lose every data again. I don't even know how to backup anymore. I used apps, desktop apps, HTC"s tool, everything. Then I still lost some really important data.
- I have to provide the unique ID of the device. I fear. If I ever break it (got insurance on it), will they claim it as a jailbreak problem?... I mean, of course software and hardware got nothing to do with each other if the glass breaks on the display for example, but we are talking about big evil companies.
How comes Samsung phones works perfectly (like they can record OOTB), but HTC sucks this much?
And HTC can design a proper phone (One), while Samsung uses a plastic crap body (S4/Notes).
Life isn't fair I guess. (But functionality > design, so this was our last HTC. Ever.)

[Clone] HDC One MAX 5.9" MTK6582 16GB / Real IR remote

Hi guys
I just got my hands on the clone called "HDC One MAX" (a.k.a. STAR One Max) with 5.9" MTK6582 16GB and Real IR remote control.
It is a perfect clone/replica of the known HTC One MAX 5.9" phablet.
I would like to start this thread to gather and collect as much info, tips & tricks, modifications, hacks etc. for this device as possible. Also the software/ROM on this phone is not 100% good yet, so I hope we can help each other fixing them.
First impressions:
The phone looks 1:1 to the original, this is one of the BEST clones I have ever seen - it even came in an original looking HTC box. Everything is 100% like on the original. The backcover and front speakers are made of real metal. The phone is also very heavy like the original. In matter for outer design they did a really good job.
It is equipped with 2 real front speakers, both speakers work! and they are actually pretty loud and nice. Still the quality is not near the original.
My phone came with the same bootup screen as the original and with all logos. Even the charger and USB cable is a perfect replica.
Overall the phone is very fast, and the UI almost looks like the real Sense from HTC. I am going to test it some more the next days, and write some extra later.

Benchmarks:
Antutu 16855
Cons & pros
- Very nice clone, looks 1:1 and has almost same materials
- Very big and clear screen, good colors
- 2 real dual speakers on the front
- Real IR remote control that works
- Google play store works, same does the stock Youtube app
- It came with good accessories, screenprotector & hardcase
- 3G works (I am in Germany, and here it works fine)
- The touch can act a bit strange sometimes
- Google play services is having a conflict on this phone
- The price is in the high end because of the use of real metal
- The fingerprint scanner has no real function it seems (yet?)
- No backlight in the touchbuttons
Camera test
The camera is "OK" and typical Mediatek

Tips & Tricks/Hacks
Can be rooted with latest Framaroot (select the last solution)
Can be backuped with MTK Droid Tools
Can install CWM via MTK Droid Tools
Issues
- The Google Play Services can not be updated together with Google Search, seems to be some kind of conflict on the phones software.
But I can use Youtube that was on the stock ROM when I got it, but I cant sign in. Still Google Play store works fine.
- Roaming warning can not be disabled in the options, but can be disabled with Xposed Framework and GravityBox.
- My homebutton can get unresponsive after I open the multitask overview (but turning off the screen, and on again, fixes the button again)
- After a factory reset and format of internal storage, I have lost the HTC bootup animation. I have the HTC One animation in my system/media, but for some reason the phone don't use it at bootup. It just bootup with a silverflashing "android" logo in the middle of the screen. Same with the shutdown animation. (I got my animations back with a CWM backup I made before I lost it)
The specifications (these should be the REAL specs, not the fake ones)
- Model: HDC One Max a.k.a STAR One MAX
- Display Size 5.9 inch / IPS / 1280*720 pixels
- Dual front speakers! both works, loud sound
- Band: 2G: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz / 3G: WCDMA 2100MHz
- Single Micro-Sim Card
- GPS with EPO assistance to speed up postioning
- Shell Material: Aluminium alloy (corners plastic)
- OS: Android 4.4 2 (looks like fake)
- UI: Sense 5.5 (I think fake, but it is 99% like the original)
- CPU: MTK6582, Quad Core, 1.3GHz
- GPU: Imagination PowerVR SGX 544MP

I recommend you to make a backup as the first thing, when you get the phone. A CWM backup and maybe also a backup with MTKdroidtools.
I lost the bootup animation after I tried to do a factory reset of the phone. But because of my CWM backup I could get it back again.
Overall the phone is really nice, and I am currently also using Xposed Framework with Gravity box on it, works fine. But I still haven't been able to fix the Google apps, so they can be updated.

What I would try is:
0. Make CWM backup off the original ROM, guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
1. Factory reset and format internal totally if possible (HTC boot may be lost!)
2. Download the stock ROM from Needrom http://www.needrom.com/mobile/11-one-max-mt6582/ and flash it to the phone with Spflashtool use guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2730031
If your phones ROM have been modified in some way before, it must at least be stock by now with the flashed stock ROM.
3. If still not ok, ask the seller for a solution or send it back.
s7yler said:
It sounds like the internal ROM is unmounted/damaged or changed for some reason on your phone.
It normally should have at least 14.39 GB internal storage available.
You didnt change anything to the EBR files or? I guess not.

That's the problem with Chinese ROMs
I have a global version and np problems whatsoever.
Had the same problem with the Huawei honor note 8 Chinese.
Partial fix was to add widgets for all the apps that you can on the home page, or open each one up and keep them running in the background without closing them.

Yes thats what i have notifications come with no sound and only wake up screen light then second one with sound but i installed the global beta and its better than global stable so far with last update.
Basically what I had to do was manually turn on all notification sounds and pop ups. Some apps simply cannot be turned on like Google messages.
